Definitions
- the present invention principally relates to a spinning machine that includes an air-jet spinning device that twists a fiber bundle to form a yarn.
- the present invention specifically relates to a method for removing fibers left behind in the air-jet spinning device.
- a spinning machine that can suck and remove unnecessary fibers generated in an air-jet spinning device or a drafting device is known in the art. Such a spinning machine is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 2003-193339 (Patent Document 1).
- fluff can get into the drafting device, and the like, and form slub, which is a portion of the fiber bundle that is thicker than the rest of the fiber bundle.
- slub which is a portion of the fiber bundle that is thicker than the rest of the fiber bundle.
- the dust collector is configured such that the suction air current does not very much affect the traveling of the fiber bundle guided into the fiber guiding opening.
- the spinning machine disclosed in Patent Document 1 it is difficult to suck and remove the fibers clogging the fiber guiding opening with the dust collector. It therefore becomes necessary for an operator to manually remove the fibers clogging the fiber guiding opening frequently, which leads to reduced production efficiency.
- a fiber removal method draws out fibers clogging the air-jet spinning device by causing the front roller pair of the drafting device to rotate, when the fiber bundle between the drafting device and the air-jet spinning device is discontinuous before the start of spinning, in the direction opposite to the rotational direction during the spinning.
- each spinning unit 2 includes, sequentially from upstream to downstream, the drafting device 7, the air-jet spinning device 9, a yarn pooling device 22, a yarn joining device 23, a yarn monitoring device 25, and the winding section 26. All the parts of the spinning unit 2 are controlled by a not shown unit controller arranged in the spinning unit 2. All the parts of the spinning unit 2 can instead be controlled by the main control device.
- the drafting device 7 draws (drafts) a sliver 15 supplied from a not shown sliver case via a sliver guide by sandwiching and conveying the sliver 15 between the drafting rollers and the opposing rollers to form the fiber bundle 8 having a predetermined fiber amount (or thickness).
- the air-jet spinning device 9 is arranged immediately downstream of the front roller 20.
- the fiber bundle 8 drafted by the drafting device 7 is supplied to the air-jet spinning device 9.
- the air-jet spinning device 9 twists the fiber bundle 8 supplied from the drafting device 7 and forms the spun yarn 10.
- a sucking and removing device 29 is arranged below the front roller 20 and the air-jet spinning device 9 (the side where the front roller 20 is arranged with respect to a yarn path and not the side where the opposing roller is arranged with respect to the yarn path).
- the sucking and removing device 29 sucks and removes the fibers that fall during drafting and/or the fibers that fall while unclogging the air-jet spinning device 9.
- a structure of the air-jet spinning device 9 and a method for unclogging the air-jet spinning device 9 shall be explained in detail later.
- a first guide 46 that guides the spun yarn 10 is arranged downstream of the delivery roller 21.
- the first guide 46 guides the spun yarn 10 to the yarn pooling device 22.
- the first guide 46 is movable and can be moved to draw the spun yarn 10 to the yarn pooling device 22 when performing yarn joining, and the like.
- the yarn hooking member 43 is attached to the downstream end of the yarn pooling roller 41.
- the yarn hooking member 43 is held rotatably relative to the yarn pooling roller 41.
- a permanent magnet is attached to one of the yarn hooking member 43 and the yarn pooling roller 41 and a magnetic hysteresis material is attached to the other one of the yarn hooking member 43 and the yarn pooling roller 41.
- the yarn hooking member 43 can rotate relative to the yarn pooling roller 41 to enable the spun yarn 10 wound on the yarn pooling roller 41 to be unwound only when a force that overcomes this torque (greater than or equal to a predetermined yarn tension) is applied on the yarn hooking member 43.
- a force that is unable to overcome the torque is applied on the yarn hooking member 43, the yarn hooking member 43 rotates integrally with the yarn pooling roller 41 enabling the spun yarn 10 to be pooled on the yarn pooling roller 41.
- the yarn joining device 23 is arranged downstream of the second guide 47.
- the yarn joining device 23 joins the spun yarn 10 from the air-jet spinning device 9 (first yarn) and the spun yarn 10 from the package 50 (second yarn) when breakage of the spun yarn 10 occurs between the air-jet spinning device 9 and the package 50 due to some reason.
- the yarn joining device 23 is a splicer device that twists and joins the yarn ends by the action of a swirling air current generated by compressed air.
- the yarn joining device 23, however, is not limited to the splicer device, and can be, for example, a mechanical knotter and the like.
- a base part of the first guiding member 27 is swingably supported.
- the first guiding member 27 can swing upward and downward about the base part.
- the first guiding member 27 is hollow, connected to a not shown blower, and capable of generating a suction air current.
- the first guiding member 27 swings downward to catch the end of the first yarn conveyed by the delivery roller 21 (as indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 1 ).
- the delivery roller 21 and the nip roller are in contact with each other.
- the delivery roller 21 and the nip roller can be separated from each other.
- the first guiding member 27 swings upward to convey the first yarn to the yarn joining device 23.
- a base part of the second guiding member 28 is swingably supported.
- the second guiding member 28 can swing upward and downward about the base part.
- the second guiding member 28 is also hollow, connected to a not shown blower, and capable of generating a suction air current.
- the second guiding member 28 swings upward to catch the end of the second yarn (as indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 1 ). After catching the second yarn, the second guiding member 28 swings downward to convey the second yarn to the yarn joining device 23.
- the yarn joining device 23 joins the first yarn and the second yarn to make the spun yarn 10 continuous between the air-jet spinning device 9 and the package 50.
- the winding of the spun yarn 10 into the package 50 can hence be resumed.
- the yarn monitoring device 25 is arranged downstream of the yarn joining device 23.
- the yarn monitoring device 25 monitors the thickness of the traveling spun yarn 10 with a not shown electrostatic capacitive sensor.
- the yarn monitoring device 25 Upon detecting a yarn defect (a portion of the spun yarn 10 having abnormal thickness, and the like), the yarn monitoring device 25 transmits a yarn defect detection signal to the unit controller.
- the unit controller drives a cutter 24 (yarn cutting device) arranged near the yarn monitoring device 25 to cut the spun yarn 10.
- the yarn monitoring device 25 can monitor the thickness of the spun yarn 10 with, for example, a photo-transmissive sensor instead of the electrostatic capacitive sensor.
- the yarn defect monitored by the yarn monitoring device 25 can also include presence of a foreign substance in the spun yarn 10.
- the winding section 26 is arranged downstream of the yarn pooling device 22.
- the winding section 26 includes a cradle arm 52 and a winding drum 53.
- the yarn path from the yarn pooling device 22 to the winding section 26 is bent and guided by a downstream guide 48.
- the cradle arm 52 rotatably supports a winding tube 51 around which the spun yarn 10 is wound.
- the cradle arm 52 is swingable about a base part thereof. This allows the winding of the spun yarn 10 to be continued properly even if a diameter of the package 50 increases as the spun yarn 10 is wound around the winding tube 51.
- the winding drum 53 is rotated while being in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the winding tube 51 or the package 50 by a driving force of a not shown winding drum driving motor.
- a not shown traverse groove that enables the spun yarn 10 to be traversed over a predetermined width is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the winding drum 53.
- the fiber guide 61 guides the fiber bundle 8 drafted by the drafting device 7 to the interior of the air-jet spinning device 9.
- the fiber guide 61 includes a fiber guiding opening 61a and a guide needle 61b.
- the fiber bundle 8 drafted by the drafting device 7 is guided from the fiber guiding opening 61a into the spinning chamber 62 in a state of being wound over the guide needle 61b.
- air-jet spinning device 9 air is blown into the spinning chamber 62 from the nozzle 63 to generate a swirling air current that acts on the fiber bundle 8 present inside the spinning chamber 62.
- the air-jet spinning device 9 includes a first arm 65, a second arm 75, a swing shaft 80, a cylinder (moving member) 81, a first urging member 82, a second urging member 83, and a stopper member 84.
- first urging member 82 One end of the first urging member 82 is fixed to a part of the not shown frame, and the like, and the other end of the first urging member 82 is rotatably coupled to the second arm 75.
- the first urging member 82 urges the second arm 75 toward the first arm 65.
- the second urging member 83 couples the first arm 65 and the second arm 75.
- the stopper member 84 prevents the first arm 65 from rotating by more than or equal to a predetermined degree.
- the second arm 75 swings away from the first arm 65 when the air is supplied to the cylinder 81 and the rod 81b moves away from the piston 81a (as shown by the dotted lines in FIG. 3 ). Because the first arm 65 and the second arm 75 are coupled by the second urging member 83, the first arm 65 also swings following the swinging of the second arm 75. However, after the first arm 65 comes into contact with the stopper member 84, only the second arm 75 swings. With this action, the front roller pair 30 and the first holder 60 can be separated from each other and also the first holder 60 and the second holder 70 can be separated from each other.
- a method for removing the fibers clogging the air-jet spinning device 9 is explained below with reference to FIGS. 4A to 7B .
- the process explained below is performed in all the spinning units 2 regardless of whether the fibers clog any particular air-jet spinning device 9.
- the fibers that are left behind in the air-jet spinning device 9, and the like, at the end of spinning shall be referred to as waste fibers 8a in the following explanation.
- FIG. 4A The state after the end of spinning is schematically shown in FIG. 4A .
- the fiber bundle 8 is discontinuous between the air-jet spinning device 9 and the drafting device 7. It is assumed here that the fiber guide 61 of the air-jet spinning device 9 is clogged with the waste fibers 8a.
- the air-jet spinning device 9 is brought closer to the front roller pair 30 by operating the cylinder 81 (see FIG. 4B ). By this action, the waste fibers 8a clogging the air-jet spinning device 9 can be brought closer to the front roller pair 30.
- the above action can be omitted or only the first holder 60 can be brought closer to the front roller pair 30.
- the front roller pair 30 is excessively reverse-rotated, the waste fibers 8a will be unfavorably conveyed into the drafting device 7. Hence, it is preferable that the reverse rotation of the front roller pair 30 is stopped after an appropriate duration.
- the front roller pair 30 can be stopped after a fixed duration that is set beforehand or a duration that is calculated according to the fiber length, the fiber type, and the like.
- the air-jet spinning device 9 injects compressed air from the nozzle 63.
- the waste fibers 8a are drawn out from the air-jet spinning device 9 by the front roller pair 30.
- the compressed air injected from the nozzle 63 substantially thoroughly removes the waste fibers 8a left behind in the fiber guide 61, and the like.
- the air-jet spinning device 9 includes the fiber guide 61 with the fiber guiding opening 61a that guides the fiber bundle 8 into the air-jet spinning device 9.
- the fiber guide 61 is located near the front roller pair 30. Therefore, even if the waste fibers 8a are clogging the fiber guiding opening 61a, the waste fibers 8a can be easily drawn out from the air-jet spinning device 9.
- the first driving section 31 rotates the front roller pair 30 forward.
- the front roller pair 30 can convey the waste fibers 8a to the outside of the drafting device 7.
- movement of the air-jet spinning device 9 is realized by the swinging of the first arm 65 and the second arm 75.
- the movement of the air-jet spinning device 9, however, can be realized, for example, by moving along a rail in a parallel manner.
- the unclogging process of the air-jet spinning device 9 is performed in all the spinning units 2, regardless of whether clogging has actually occurred.
- a sensor that detects clogging in the air-jet spinning device 9 can be arranged, and the above process can be performed only in the spinning unit 2 in which clogging has occurred.
- the rotation of the drafting roller pair (front roller pair 30) of each spinning unit 2 is controlled separately.
- spinning instead of performing the unclogging process, spinning can be first restarted, and the unclogging process can be performed only when the spinning fails to restart successively for a predetermined number of times, after which spinning can be restarted.
- the front roller pair 30 is reverse-rotated and thereafter the air-jet spinning device 9 is moved and the waste fibers 8a are removed by blowing air from the nozzle 63.
- the air-jet spinning device 9 can be moved first and the waste fibers 8a can be removed by blowing air from the nozzle 63, and thereafter the air-jet spinning device 9 can be moved back and the front roller pair 30 can be reverse-rotated to unclog the air-jet spinning device 9.
- the movement of the air-jet spinning device 9 can be omitted altogether and the front roller pair 30 can be reverse-rotated and thereafter rotated forward.
- the back roller 16, the third roller 17, and the middle roller 19 are driven by a single driving section (the second driving section 32).
- a separate driving section can be used to drive each drafting roller.
- the back roller 16 and the third roller 17 can be driven by a common driving section, and the middle roller 19 can be driven by a separate driving section.
- the guide needle 61b can be omitted, and the function of the guide needle 61b can be realized with the downstream end of the fiber guide 61.
- a configuration can be adopted in which a work carrier is arranged that is capable of moving among the spinning units 2 to perform yarn joining wherever required.
- a configuration can be adopted in which the yarn path from the drafting device 7 to the winding section 26 is linear.
- Another configuration can be adopted in which the yarn path runs from top to bottom in a height direction of the spinning machine.
- the spinning machine includes a drafting device, an air-jet spinning device, and a first driving member.
- the drafting device includes plural drafting roller pairs, including a front roller pair, and drafts a fiber bundle.
- the air-jet spinning device carries out spinning to twist the fiber bundle drafted by the drafting device to form a yarn.
- the first driving member rotates, when the fiber bundle is discontinuous between the drafting device and the air-jet spinning device before start of the spinning, the front roller pair in a second direction that is opposite to a first direction that is a rotational direction during the spinning.
- the air-jet spinning device includes a fiber guide with a fiber guiding opening that guides the fiber bundle into the air-jet spinning device.
- the fiber guide is located near the front roller pair, even if the fibers clog the fiber guide opening, the fibers can be easily drawn out from the air-jet spinning device.
- the first driving section rotates the front roller pair in the first direction after the front roller pair is rotated in the second direction and before the spinning is started by the air-jet spinning device.
- the spinning machine further includes a second driving section that drives the drafting roller pairs other than the front roller pair.
- the air-jet spinning device includes a nozzle block and a hollow guide shaft.
- the nozzle block includes a nozzle through which the air that is to be injected into the spinning chamber for generating a swirling air current passes.
- the fiber bundle that is twisted by the swirling air current in the spinning chamber passes through the hollow guide shaft.
- the fibers left behind in the air-jet spinning device can be removed.
- the fibers clogging the air-jet spinning device can be more reliably gripped and drawn out by the front roller pair.
- the fibers clogging the air-jet spinning device can be drawn out at a speed that does not cause the fibers to break.
- the spinning machine further includes a sucking and removing device that sucks and removes the fibers drawn out by the rotation of the front roller pair in the second direction.
- the fibers drawn out from the air-jet spinning device can be prevented from adhering to other members.
- the spinning machine includes plural spinning units.
- Each of the spinning units includes the plural drafting roller pairs, the air-jet spinning device, and the first driving member.
- the front roller pair can be rotated in the second direction only in the spinning unit in which there is a possibility of the fibers clogging the air-jet spinning device.
- a fiber removal method draws out fibers clogging the air-jet spinning device by causing the front roller pair of the drafting device to rotate, when the fiber bundle between the drafting device and the air-jet spinning device is discontinuous before the start of spinning, in the direction opposite to the rotational direction during the spinning.
